14th International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption, FOA14

该奖项将为参加将于2022年5月22日至27日在科罗拉多州布鲁姆菲尔德举行的第14届吸附基本原理国际会议(FOA14)的美国初级参与者提供部分旅行支持。FOA系列会议是由国际吸附学会组织的吸附领域的主要国际会议。这次会议的一个标志是其对吸附基础研究和应用领域的全面报道，从多孔材料中吸附的流体的分子建模和模拟到工业气体分离过程的变压吸附系统的设计。这些专题领域的研究具有深远的社会影响，包括减少温室气体排放和减少工业能源消耗。FOA会议每三年举行一次，来自世界各地的研究人员参加。与会者代表了广泛的学术学科，包括化学工程、化学、物理、材料科学与工程等，产业界的参与程度很高。会议形式包括一系列主题演讲、全体会议和特邀演讲、技术演示和海报会议。因此，这次会议为学术界的科学家和工程师以及该领域的工业从业者之间提供了一个交流思想和信息的绝佳论坛。第14届吸附基本原理国际会议将以技术会议、每日海报会议和联网活动为特色，以鼓励思想的交叉授粉和建立新的合作。会议的主要主题包括吸附、热力学和动力学的基本原理；吸附现象的分子模拟；吸附材料包括沸石、碳、二氧化硅和金属有机骨架；吸附材料的表征；液相和气相吸附过程；变压吸附和模拟移动床过程；吸附的生物技术应用；吸附的能源应用；以及吸附的环境应用。FOA14组委会是一个由来自学术界、工业界和美国国家实验室的不同研究人员组成的小组，他们的专业知识涵盖了一系列技术主题。这次会议的重点是基础吸附科学，这是独一无二的。该奖项将支持来自美国教育机构和非营利性研究机构的研究生、博士后研究员和初级终身教职教师的参与。这些旅行补贴的一个主要目标是鼓励研究社区成员的参与，否则他们可能无法参与。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will provide partial travel support for junior U.S. participants to attend the 14th International Conference on the Fundamentals of Adsorption (FOA14) which will take place on May 22-27, 2022 in Broomfield, Colorado. The FOA series of conferences is the premier international conference in the field of adsorption, organized by the International Adsorption Society. A hallmark of the conference is its comprehensive coverage of the spectrum of fundamental research and applications of adsorption, ranging from molecular modeling and simulation of fluids adsorbed in porous materials to the design of pressure swing adsorption systems for industrial gas separation processes. Research in these topical areas has far-reaching societal implications, including mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and reducing industrial energy consumption. The FOA meeting is held triennially and is attended by researchers from all over the world. The attendees represent a wide range of academic disciplines, including chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, and materials science and engineering, among others, and the level of industrial participation is high. The meeting format includes a series of keynote, plenary, and invited talks, technical presentations, and poster sessions. Thus, the conference provides an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas and information between scientists and engineers in academia and industrial practitioners in the field. The 14th International Conference on the Fundamentals of Adsorption meeting will feature technical sessions, daily poster sessions, and networking functions to encourage the cross-pollination of ideas and to establish new collaborations. The key themes of the meeting include fundamentals of adsorption, thermodynamics, and kinetics; molecular simulation of adsorption phenomena; adsorbent materials including zeolites, carbons, silicas, and metal-organic frameworks; characterization of adsorbent materials; liquid-phase and gas-phase adsorption processes; pressure swing adsorption and simulated moving bed processes; biotechnology applications of adsorption; energy applications of adsorption; and environmental applications of adsorption. The FOA14 organizing committee is a diverse group of researchers from academia, industry, and U.S. national laboratories whose expertise spans the array of technical topics. The meeting is unique in its focus on fundamental adsorption science. The award will support the participation of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior tenure-track faculty members from U.S. educational institutions and not-for-profit research institutions. A primary objective of these travel subsidies is to encourage participation among members of the research community who might otherwise be unable to participate.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
